INDIANAPOLIS – Every time coach LaVall Jordan walked into the gym, Sean McDermott was there.
When Jordan was at Hinkle Fieldhouse interviewing for the Butler basketball job, so was McDermott, putting up shots. McDermott was kicked out of the gym because rules prevented the coach from watching him.
After Jordan was hired, the first two times he was in the gym, same thing. McDermott was there.
“He works like crazy. He’s in the gym all the time,” Jordan said.
This is a season in which McDermott’s labors should pay off.
